Former Canadian Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau
recently made headlines not for a policy speech or political statement, but for a quiet dinner with pop icon
Katy Perry
. As reported by TMZ, the two were seen dining at Montreal's Le Violon on a Monday night, where they reportedly shared lobster and cocktails in a semi-private setting, with security guards watching discreetly through mirrored glass.
Perry, who just confirmed her split from actor Orlando Bloom earlier this month, was photographed leaning across the table to speak closely with Trudeau.
T
he internet did what it does best, speculate. But while the moment has ignited buzz and memes, there's no confirmation from either party that this dinner was romantic in nature. Still, it's not the first time Trudeau's personal life has fueled public curiosity.
Sophie Gregoire
Trudeau's most well-known, and only confirmed, relationship was with Sophie Grégoire Trudeau. Their marriage, often described as a 'modern political fairytale,' lasted nearly two decades. The pair first met as children in Montreal; Sophie was a friend and classmate of Justin's younger brother, Michel. Years later, in 2003, they reconnected while co-hosting a charity gala. Sparks flew, and they began dating shortly after.

According to Trudeau's 2014 memoir Common Ground, the couple got engaged in 2004 and married the following year in a ceremony held at Montreal's Sainte-Madeleine d'Outremont Church. They went on to have three children: Xavier, Ella-Grace, and Hadrien.
Their public appearances often projected unity, with Sophie by Justin's side during political campaigns and international visits. But insiders and longtime watchers weren't entirely surprised when the couple announced their separation in August 2023.
In a joint statement, they said the decision came after 'many meaningful and difficult conversations.'
Long before their formal separation, the Trudeaus had addressed the pressures of public life on their marriage. In a 2014 interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), Trudeau candidly admitted: 'Sophie is still my best friend, my partner, and my love, even though our marriage isn't perfect and we've had challenging ups and downs.'

Despite these acknowledgments, neither Trudeau nor Sophie publicly confirmed any infidelity. Still, gossip persisted, particularly in tabloid outlets like the Daily Mail, which raised questions about possible adultery, though again, without concrete evidence.
Even Sophie herself has occasionally alluded to the complexities of their relationship. During a recent panel discussion at SXSW, she made a humorous but pointed comment about their marriage, hinting at the realities behind their public image.
In the wake of Trudeau's separation, his name has occasionally been linked to various women in the media and on social platforms. However, none of these rumors, Katy Perry included, have been confirmed, and most lack any credible backing.
